The north side of Golden Gate Park this area was settled before the Sunset. While foggier the streets are wider and curvy. Houses are bigger than the Sunset and average 3-4 bedrooms and 1.5+ bathrooms with garage parking. Some are stately and large Edwardian/Arts and Crafts single-family homes with wood floors and some Spanish details like roof tile or stucco exteriors. You’ll find bigger fixers and some redone houses that blend modern and traditional. There are various guises of rental buildings, 4-unit condos or flats. Most homes will have garages; beware scraping the bottom your car with steeper driveway entries.

The People: Buyers will compete with families who have kids looking to locate in a location near to private and public schools; developers, multigenerational families, renters and income-property buyers.
